Vegan/plant-based is the fastest-growing segment in the restaurant industry. And it’s not just a fad. Vegan/plant=based is a response from guests who are concerned with their own optimum health, as well as the sustainable health of the planet. In response to these concerns, Giving Tree Cafe is also 100% organic, gluten-free, and soy-free. Giving Tree Cafe also makes everything its serves from fresh natural ingredients. Giving Tree Cafe doesn’t buy anybody’s anything. If you order Giving Tree Cafe’s Veggie Burger, it bakes the bread, it makes the patty, it makes the mustard, it makes the ketchup. Everything.

STRENGTH OF STAFF: “We teach presence. We create relationship with each guest based on our principal of presence. Being present with each guest means we don’t have a standard pitch. No canned message. No fake lilt in our voice. We approach you and your needs in order to create unique high quality exchange.” OUTLOOK FOR 2022: “We see the trend towards eating more healthy plant based meals growing more and more. And as our consumer base grows, we will answer the challenge with more delicious creative meals.” last year --
